03.04.1999 - GnomeREPORT E-commerce is a BIG buzzword right now (almost as bad as the term "communities"). But, I can't say that the idea of e-commerce is all that horrible. I've saved time by shopping online. A DVD here, a game or two there... and the prices have seriously been hard to beat! If you're just starting an online business, you might not have the right tools for the job. After all, would a carpenter try to drive a nail with his awl? NetObjects Fusion puts a range of HTML and web utilities at your disposal: Allaire's ColdFusion 4.0 Single User Edition & Homesite 4.0 (for straight HTML coding), Headspace Beatnik ActionSet 1.1 (for adding music and sound to your site), Live Picture PhotoVista 1.3.1 Trial (to create zoomable 360º panoramic images), Lotus eSuite DevPack 1.5 (for business information management), NetObjects ScriptBuilder 3.0 Trial (for advanced web page functionality), and NetStudio 1.0.1 (for graphics development). This is ALL on top of the already-popular NetObjects WYSIWYG site creation tool. Nice, eh? Even if you've been "doing the web" for a while, I'm sure you're still looking for new ways to make your site better than your competition's. NetObjects Fusion 4.0 will bring "everything" together for you in one package. The most difficult part is trying to stop once you start.

http://members.tripod.com/~sushko/automail/automail.zip Looking for another SendTo menu enhancement? You might already have the ability to mail a file to a friend using your default e-mail program, but if you'd like to bypass the mail client, AutoMail is the right add-on. Configure it, place a shortcut to it in your SendTo menu, then you can send any file directly to a friend (via e-mail). Nothing fancy, just quick. The program's "expanded" options are grayed out (this is still a work in progress), but hopefully the author will be enabling them soon. I think I'd be lost without having that SendTo menu. Wouldn't you? GnomeSYSTEM Microsoft Office Forms 2.0 Patch [658k]
http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/downloaditems/fm2paste.exe "This patch addresses a vulnerability that occurs when the Forms 2.0 Control (Fm20*.dll) is available on a user's system. Forms 2.0 is an Active X(r) control that allows users to create customized dialog boxes. A malicious hacker could use the Forms 2.0 Control to read or export text on a user's Clipboard when that user visits a Web site set up by the malicious hacker or opens an e-mail created by the hacker." GnomeCANDY Avalon Icon Library Viewer v1.10 [203k] W9x FREE
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Station/8542/Icl_View.zip You've probably downloaded files with an ICL extension--they're archives for ICO (icon) files. Without some sort of "ICL" viewer, you can't see the icons that are tucked away inside. Along comes a very simplistic (although not completely polished) Windows shell property sheet to help. Install this, and you'll be able to right-click on an ICL file to view and extract its icons! The preview window will only show "16 color" representations, but the extraction process works with higher icon color depths. Gotta love these shortcuts, gang! GnomeFAVORITE
homePCnetwork.com http://www.homepcnetwork.com/index.htm I'm set up on a pretty secure Sneakernet around here. Nothing gets from point A to point B without going through me first... talk about a firewall! Gretchen doesn't use her computer that much, and I only use Joe when I need to test software. However, if your family has more than a couple of computers running constantly and you want to connect them together, before you buy any new hardware or software, consult this site. There's tons of "real world" information waiting for you here (for novices & pros). Make the connection! GnomeDESKTOP THEME: Violin [2.4M]
http://www.geocities.com/area51/cavern/3118/themes/violin.zip Growing up, I really didn't play a musical instrument. I took piano lessons for a while, but I lost interest in that quickly. Then, when electronic keyboards became popular in the late '80s, I started tinkering a little. I suppose if I had the opportunity to do it all over again, I'd take kazoo lessons. After all, there aren't many accomplished kazoo players alive today. The last great Kazooie was Byron F. Winkelmeyer. Man, he could really make that thing hum. It was like he was one with the instrument, as every great musician should be. GnomeTIP Microsoft didn't make it easy to customize icons in Windows. There are dozens of programs to help you do this, but I believe the one with the best interface (and most icon options) is ActivIcons (http://www.cursorarts.com/ca_ai.html). Change your Desktop icons, cursors, make icon text labels transparent, rebuild the icon cache, replace drive & folder icons, change shortcut symbols, and a little bit more. It's pretty much an all-in-one icon tweaking tool. And speaking of, IconShop was updated the other day. You should definitely download it (http://www.ping.be/liontech/). |
